Meaning of 2nd half of song --- Reign of love Here's what I think of the lyrics: Reign of love I can’t let go To the sea I offer This heavy load The person who's saying this can't let go of his past love and so to the sea of time, he offers his heavy load of grief (since he really doesn't know how to deal with his lost love) Locusts will Lift me up I’m just a prisoner In a reign of love Locusts, in a figurative sense, were considered to be representative of god's wrath/punishment; in reality, they can ravage entire fields of crops, but interestingly, clouds of locusts can be selective and often, fields beside the ravaged fields are left completely untouched. I think the person in this song feels he's being punished and feels somewhat alone in his grief. Locusts will Let us stop I wish I’d spoken To the reign of love This loneliness and grief over his past love might stop if he says something. Reign of love By the church, we’re waiting Reign of love My knees I go praying The church is the traditional place to get married, so there the singer is waiting, while he prays. How I wish I'd spoken up Or we'd been carried To the Reign of love The singer wishes he had spoken up because if he had, he and his love would be together right now.
